    • @vincentalexander5242
      @vincentalexander5242 8 лет назад +2

      @Vincent Ikanova - I don't like feminists or SJW's, but everything you said can also be applied just the same to the far right position. The ideal ground is somewhere in the middle, between the two positions.

    • @MaggaraMarine
      @MaggaraMarine 8 лет назад +7

      +Vincent Ikanova
      If that is your mentality, then you are part of the problem. Using generalizations like "leftists" is simplifying things and is just an attempt of making your side look like the right side (no pun intended). (Also, "leftism" doesn't equal "feminism" or "SJW". There are plenty of people on the left who despise SJWs and are "anti-feminists". Some good examples are Sargon of Akkad and The Amazing Atheist.)
      One can find a lot of examples where the left has the rational position and the right wing position is based on feelings. For example abortion, LGBT rights, stuff like that (not saying that people on the left don't use feeling based arguments to argue their positions either - even if you are right, it doesn't mean you should just disregard the other side by calling them "bigots" or whatever). And again, that's a stupid generalization. I know there are plenty of people on the right who support LGBT rights and all that.
      Also, "female mentality"... What does that even mean? Are you implying that women can't debate rationally? Are you using "woman" as an insult? (And these are just questions, not accusations, because I really don't understand what you mean by that.)
      +Vincent T.
      _"The ideal ground is somewhere in the middle, between the two positions."_
      Usually yeah, but not always. Sometimes one side is totally right and the other side is totally wrong. One thing that comes to my mind is gay marriage. But again, it is also about the way you argue. If you disregard all of the points the other side makes because they are "bigots" or "just wrong", that's really not a good way of arguing. Even if the other side is completely wrong, it's important to understand where they are coming from. People will not listen to you if you don't listen to them first.

    "You're wrong. You are incorrect. Prove me wrong"
    1) Actively Listen
    Okay, I am listening
    2) Empathize
    I know how you feel about me being wrong, and I feel the same way. We both feel the same.
    3) Build a Rapport
    I feel like I'm not wrong though... Are my feelings wrong?
    4) Influence
    Maybe I am right, have we thought about that?
    5) They change

    • @hycron1234
      @hycron1234 8 лет назад +7

      People get sick of it, and eventually feel less empathy towards you; like crying wolf. Evidence does not always mean you are right or wrong, or they are right or wrong, it just means you have a perspective of truth (like sunrise/sunset seen from the ground, but from space the planet actually orbits the sun). If you don't listen to people, why should they listen to you?

I've been like this for as long as I can remember because I hate when people talk about something likes its a fact or act like they are right about something without any thing to back it. In other words I hate ignorance

Basically, the best way to win an argument is to let people know it's ok to be wrong. Be polite in your disagreements and it doesn't have to get that heated.

Granted, it's impossible to persuade some people, but then you don't argue with them to persuade them, you argue to either strengthen your own arguments or persuade spectators, or possibly out of some sadistic or masochistic impulse.

    @roush26 8 лет назад

    You've won an argument when your opponent breaks into anger and/or resorts to personnel insults. I have won one where opp. changed his mind, but it was ugly, looked like he had a nervous breakdown, and collapsed in repenting fashion.
    Another thing is when arguing for awhile, you drop an excellent point and walk away from it. Your opp will naturally drop his/her own last word. You ignore/dismiss it, if your opp continues, you know you've won because he/she doesn't feel satisfied with the end result.
    When I lose arguments I just shut up.

  • @edi9892
    @edi9892 8 лет назад

    There are two more ways to win:
    1) agree with them on a point, then expand on it showing that A=>B=>C and they don't like C; now it's their turn to find a way to avoid C or find the flaw in the logic you presented , which could actually result in finding a flaw in their own logic...
    2) the game of frames: hard to explain but it describes how everyone processes data differently. Step 1 is to be aware how you and your opponent see the world differently; 2 find a possible overlapping frame to your advantage. Examples: see the YT video _Game of Thrones: How Power Really Works_

    Yeah. I think this is a problem, especially online. People argue, they don't discuss. If you argue, it will never change anybody's mind, it will just strengthen your own views. But if your goal is to understand each other and find some common ground, then it will work much better. Both sides will most likely learn something new from the discussion.

  • @andrewevenson7798
    @andrewevenson7798 7 лет назад

    This technique in arguing realistically won't work in any typical arguments I have. In fact, this is usually the technique I try and use, but maybe slightly different. Also, arguments do not have to be wars. There does not have to be a winner or loser. The problem is so many people treat arguments as wars, even really smart people. In opinionated arguments, there can't be a winner because it's an opinion. In a factual argument, there is a correct answer, but people will still deny it, sometimes even when provided direct evidence.

    I'm discovering more and more that emotions are more accessible than logic, in fact logic works within the boundaries that our emotions define. By removing the stigma of the dissenting opinion, making the other/outsider seem less unpleasant, logic becames unencumbered to reach new conclusions. With that said, emotions are still such a messy, chaotic variable though that just complicates everything unnecessarily. I wish they never existed.

    I did a great job getting someone to reconsider their view of the racial injustices over in the US, by giving them something to be right about by pointing how the horrendous gender-disparity in the American Justice system also is.
    They wanted to call foul-play on one, but couldn't really do it without calling foul play on both. So I just encouraged them to see how the same moronic human biases are at play.

    People who care more about bettering themself will actually enjoy when people let them know that they are wrong so long as what the person is saying is true and criticism can be welcomed if the person cares more about making progress and showing gratitude to the person for letting them know something that they didn't realize before. Those people can easily admit when they did something wrong or if the way they are going about doing something is far from optimal.

    That's because so few people have the level of humility required to admit they're wrong. They're taught from day one that being right is the important part, but not how to be right by accepting when you're wrong and changing your mind. They're punished for being wrong (in the Prussian model government school system the U.S. and most western countries utilize), humiliated for it, and then expected to have some kind of humility about it when they are grown up? Yeah right.

  • @GlobalWarmingSkeptic

    Persuasion is manipulation. To me, that's the wrong way to go about it. Rather than persuade, you should instead inform.
    I believe in what's called the self debate. What this means is that you ignore emotional reactions to arguments and just bombard them with facts, figures, and numbers regardless of how they respond, and never personally attack. If you are thorough enough, they will recall that information and the brain will slowly correct itself. It's done using the same conflict resolution techniques that make excuses. Instead, those conflict resolutions will compromise the learned information with the information they already had.
    The difference, though, is that the person can formulate a more logical opinion and really gain information, rather than just being manipulated into accepting someone's logic.
    I know this because it's what I go through. I constantly think of what others have told me, and I try to apply that information in a logical way.

  • @KingOfGamesss

    If you define "winning an argument" by having the last "word"...here is my sure-fire way of making sure you get the last say. All you have to do is retort each time (after your opponent finishes his long-winded argument/rant with the shortest possible statement of disagreement you can achieve without making your opponent suspicious of your "Trolling" technique/strategy. For example "there's no way"...go smaller "no way"..."nope"..."nah"..."no"...then when you get down to just shaking your head make another much longer rant to throw your opponent off balance...then go back to making your retorts smaller again. The idea is to make your opponent "run out of steam" from his/her long rants while you conserve your energy and stay calm and keep patient waiting for your opponent to give up trying to convince you...there-by making you the victor of the argument...CONGRATULATIONS!

    • @KingOfGamesss
      @KingOfGamesss 8 лет назад

      oh and also if it looks like your opponent is about to give up, make sure to keep pushing them and dragging them back into the argument as many times as you can and try to get them to make very long rants while you just pretend to listen LOL

    Being right doesn't help winning an argument.
    The way I do it is that I deliver the facts than listen as my opponent makes a fool at of themselves.
    Needless to say it rarely works. Making it all the more surprising when it does.

    Win any argument by pulling down your pants an dunning towards the one you are arguing with. What response will they have? Too big, too small, nothing there? Doesn't matter when it's coming at you, no time to laugh and more importantly no time to argue. Instant win...or just have hair that looks like a bird than just make their argument invalid from there.

    Feel felt found technique. I understand how you feel (empathy), in fact I know most people probably felt the same way given your situation, however, what I've found to be a good solution is if we just breathe for a moment, and just try again, this time knowing we are at least listening to each other. What do you say?

    All of these tips work well. Listen passively, showing concern for the other persons feelings, and validating them and then discussing yours in relation to them in a friendly manner builds trust. Only then can you build trust and find mutual solutions. My partner is a person who is easily swayed by emotions. By following the steps in the video we are able to avoid a lot of stress and argument. As the man in this video clearly points out, it isn't about wrong and right. It is about emotional conflicts.
    I do think, however, that the presenter could avoided all the sex jokes by choosing how he addressed his audience with more care.
    I mean wow. People think about sex all the time.
